Arch 1 Posted April 30, 2001 Quick one here hopefully someone can provide a quick solution. Tonight I was just goofing around and poking at some Win2k things, looking here and there, etc.. etc.. Anyway, I decided to open up "Component Services" in the control panel. And then I selected Component Services from the pull down list, and clicked on "Computers". I get the following error msg: "COM+ was unable to talk to the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator." Event log reports the following: The run-time environment was unable to initialize for transactions required to support transactional components. Make sure that MS DTC is running.(DtcGetTransactionManagerEx(): hr = 0x8004d01b) This has worked in the past, but I cant remember the last time I poked around in there. I didnt delete anything to my knowledge, so I'm a bit confused at to whats going on. Suggestions? Arch Share this post Link to post
